Santa and Mrs. Claus made a special visit from the North Pole to Yenser’s Tree Farm, Mahoning Township, hoping to visit with some of the many children who made the trip with their families for their Christmas trees.

“The reindeer are ready and looking forward to Christmas Eve,” Santa said.

Santa has been visiting the area in various locations: parades, tree lighting events, and other gatherings, finding out if the children have been good and what they hope to receive for Christmas.

Asked what she will be doing while Santa is making his annual rounds on Christmas Eve, “I’ll be baking the cookies,” said Mrs. Claus.

“The sleigh is tuned up and ready for another trip,” Santa exclaimed. “All we need to do now is load it up with the presents.”
